Perky Pet 399 Patented Upside Down Thistle Feeder, 2 lb capacity

Comment: You get what you pay for. A novel and serviceable feeder. The cap can be difficult to replace. The feeder must be hung. It is not designed to attach to a pipe.

Comment: Feeder provides and interesting education for the goldfinches. It's fun to watch them figure out how to feed upside down. Other birds stay away from the feeder. It was a good investment.

Comment: Very easy to fill and enjoy observing birds without the hassle of chasing away the squirrels. Absolutely works as advertised.

Comment: I have had this Goldfinch Feeder for a few months now and really like it. The Goldfinches really seem to love it and I like watching them feed upsidedown. A few other smaller birds, namely Chickadees have found out how to use it but mainly only Goldfinches use it.

It is very easy to clean by taking it all apart, which is very easy, and then running water through it and then pushing a towel through the whole thing to dry it out. The bottom piece which is shaped like a V is sometimes a bit hard to put back in but I usually never have a problem with it.

I wish it had a better top to it so it would shield the rain water from running down the sides because when you get rain it seems to seep into the holes and gets the seed wet. The V shape piece in the bottom also seems to leak seed quite easy when moved or tapped but that doesn't detour me from using the feeder. This is the main reasons I gave this feeder a four star rating.

I'm overall happy with this feeder and the price is nice. I will see how it holds up through the winter months?

Comment: Works like a charm. Very low maintenance. Makes the backyard like a birdcage. Lots of bright yellow birds. They're very timid but entertaining. Other birds leave it alone because they can't hang upside-down to eat. Brilliant !
